Residents panel
The roles and responsibilities of the Residents panels
The Building Safety Act 2022 includes a stipulation that landlords of high-rise buildings should do more to engage with residents on this subject. As a landlord of 55 high-rise buildings, we take this responsibility very seriously. As part of our efforts, we have set up a Building Safety Resident Panel. We held our first meeting in October 2023. So far, the Resident Panel has discussed and influenced:
- what building safety decisions residents should be involved in
- how the impact of the works on residents can be reduced
- how we can better communicate our messages, including to neurodiverse residents
- how building safety concerns or enquiries can be raised and the content, design, and layout of our Resident Engagement Strategy.
Remit of the Resident Panel
- ensure a fit for purpose system is in place so your safety concerns are listened to and responded to quickly
- develop standards for communicating critical building safety information to residents, their households, and visitors, including those with diverse needs
- agree a process to ensure you can access more detailed building safety information if you wish to
- agree building safety performance information that you can easily understand and monitor
- explore options as to how you can be made aware of your own role in ensuring your safety
- ensure your concerns are considered to identify learning for the future
